Citizens' Movement for Change (French: Mouvement des Citoyens pour le Changement, pronounced [muvmɑ̃ de sitwajɛ̃ puʁ lə ʃɑ̃ʒmɑ̃], MCC) is a Christian-democratic[1] political party in the French Community of Belgium founded by Gérard Deprez in 1998.
Deprez was the leader of the Francophone Christian Social Party (PSC) from 1982 to 1995.
[4] The last trigger to form a new party was the popular outrage at the government's mishandling of the controversy around the pedophile serial killer Marc Dutroux.
[5] The MCC immediately joined the alliance of the PRL and the regionalist Democratic Front of the Francophones (FDF) and ran on a joint PRL-FDF-MCC list for the elections in 1999.
The MCC supported the "purple-green" government coalition of Liberals, Socialists and Greens, while the PSC, for the first time in 50 years, was sent into opposition.
